You asked if any one knew any Australian Dealers we are in Sunshine Coast Queensland and found out about this site about 3 months ago , have since kept in touch and checked out site for all sorts of info. If I can be of any help please make contact. We might be a bit odd as we are both Kyocera dealer and Ricoh. As Kyocera are just launching the re-badged Kip plan printer your article was very interesting.
Unfortunately Ricoh DO NOT sell the plan printers through their dealer network yet only through a distributor that will not supply to dealers as they sell direct themselves. We have been starving hoping for this to change but no luck for the future yet. So that’s why KIP/ Kyocera rea of interest to us.
I am originally from the UK been in Oz about 16 years now Have been associated with Ricoh for32 years now . Started with rebadged electrostatic machines sold in UK as The Copy Cat 220 Then Ricoh 4700’s Left UK after Gestetner bought out Nahsua, Where after many different positions ended up as UK Dealer Manager. Couldn’t be bothered with any more changes so left Blighty for Australia. Had own business out here now for past 12 years,
If I can be of any help or assistance please just let me know. Thanks for the great site !!!
